Overall, there were 40,577 at the game with stadium capacity being 50k. I would guess that Duke might be less, given that they will bring a lot fewer fans than SJSU. Even if the Spoiled Children bring as many fans as SJSU and also buy and fill all the empty seats, then the ratio would be at worst ~ 35k Stanford to 15k Spoiled Children.
